Vivian Wang

Vivian Wang is a product and experience designer with deep expertise in the U.S. and Chinese markets. A graduate of Carnegie Mellon’s prestigious school of design, Wang grew up splitting her time between North America and China--going back and forth from Beijing and Boston to Shanghai and San Francisco--giving her first-hand knowledge of the challenges of transitioning between the two cultures. After a stint at Frog Design, Wang spent four years as a product designer at Facebook, where she contributed to such services as mobile News Feed and the social network’s web redesign. She later joined Airbnb to help drive its expansion into China, and in 2017, moved full-time back to her birthplace, Beijing, to head up design there for the company, charged with translating the American home-sharing platform for the Asian market.
